The prestigious EXPO universal exposition took this year in the Italian city of Milan. Among the 147 countries presenting their traditions, creativity and innovation, Poland is one of the brighter points. The exhibition in the fourth-largest EXPO pavilion is organized under the supervision of the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development (PARP). One of the accompanying events will be Polish ICT Week, which will consist of two elements: an exhibition of the most interesting Polish companies in the ICT sector (organized by the Ministry of Administration and Digitization) and accompanying events like a conference organized by PARP during which eight Polish tech companies will present their most innovative ideas. Check out our representatives and the idea behind ICT Week in Milan

EXPO is recognized as one of the most prestigious promotional events in the world. It is a great opportunity to show a nation’s economic potential to a wider audience. This year such a chance was given to eight start-ups from the new technologies sector selected by the Ministry of Administration and Digitization (MAC). They’ll present their projects in the form of interactive stands on October 12-18 during the Polish ICT Week in the Polish pavilion at EXPO Milano 2015.

You can find out a bit more about the start-ups before then:

1) Digital Core Design - a leading Intellectual Property (IP) Core provider and System-on-Chip (SoC) design house and the creator of the world's fastest 8051 CPU – the DQ80251, which was presented to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and EU President Donald Tusk, during CeBIT 2013 official opening ceremony. DCD will present a project called “New design solutions in the field of innovation on a global scale”.

“Polish ICT week is a great opportunity for Digital Core Design, to present its IP Core portfolio. For more than 15 years our company has been developing innovating architectures. […] Polish ICT week at EXPO will be a chance for our company to present our latest solution to the world – the D32PRO. It’s a 32-bit, royalty-free, deeply embedded CPU, introduced in mid-September during the conference held at the Ministry of Economy in Warsaw. We haven’t forgotten that our presentation should offer something more for visitors. That’s why along with the CPU, we’ll use a special 3D hologram device to present D32PRO’s functionality. And this is just the beginning,” promises Tomeq Cwienk, PR and marketing manager at Digital Core Design in a statement for web.gov.pl.

2) Ifinity – provides beacon-based tailor-made technology to cities, public spaces and commercial clients around the world to let people digitally interact with their surroundings using their smartphones.

“Participation in EXPO 2015 is an excellent opportunity to present projects that are based on native Polish technologies while presenting innovation on a global scale. We invite you to visit our stand. In addition to the presentation of the project, we want to share our knowledge about the dynamic development of Polish photonic technologies, introduce our business and prove that photonics will soon develop and modernize industry worldwide. We hope that EXPO participants and the audience will recognize that Poland has its own advanced technologies that can be developed through participation in various projects and programs (national and EU), and to implement advanced solutions for the industry. Many domestic and foreign companies have already decided to bet on Polish innovative fiber technologies. With proper promotion and cooperation with scientific and business leaders for the development of indigenous photonic technology, we have a chance to develop and modernize the Polish economy and become an important player on the market for modern advanced technology,” Edward Kukliński from InPhoTech told web.gov.pl.

[…] During EXPO 2015 we will provide an outstanding booth with touchable screens, an interactive map and an explanation for how it all works. Mostly we’ll promote the very valuable map services that we provide to different customers. Our data adds some new features and a third dimension to the maps that used to be in 2D. We expect an increasing demand for oblique imagery and 3rd dimension data in the near future. We welcome anyone that is interested in new technologies, maps, aerial photography and LiDAR data. This will be a chance to touch the screen and see the difference. Our services will help to improve life in smart city environments in the future,” explains Witold Kuźnicki for web.gov.pl, key account director for MGGP Aero.
